In the illustrative embodiments of my in venti'on shown in the drawings, 1 is an anvil having a hollow body member 2 andprovided with the usual horn 3, and hardy 4:, and with a fixed jaw 21. The interior 5 of the hollowbody member 2 may be of any suitable configuration to cooperate with the hollow supporting member 6 so that the latter will not rotate within the former. Preferably I provide'the opening 5 in the hollow body member of the anvil 1 substantially rectangular in cross section to snugly fit the hollow rectangular supporting meme her 6. I also provide the hollow bodymember with additional openings or pockets 7, 7 to cooperate with the locking head 8. This headiis so formed to snugly fit the noncircular opening 5., in one of its positions, so. that the locking head '8 can be readily moved in and out to engage with the different pockets or openings 7, 7 upon the operation of a locking bolt 9;

This bolt 9 is preferably formed with a square or other non-circular head 10 adapted to be received within the'cooperating -re-. cess v11 in the locking head 8, its shank passing through the flanged thimbles 12 and 13 and. cooperating with 'a nut 14 which serves to prevent, the locking bolt .9 from becoming disconnected from the thimbles 12 and 13. The thimble 12 has a the thimble 13v has a flange 16 to cooperate with the inner flange 100 of the standard 17. On the end of the locking bolt 9 I preferably mount an operating handle 18 which I preferably, though not necessarily, provide with a weighted end 19 so that it will normally hang down and hold the locking bolt 9 in the position shown in Fig. 1, which will cause the locking head 8 to normally engage some one of the pockets 7, 7. This handle 18 may be secured to the locking bolt in any suitable manner such as by the pin 20.

The fixed jaw 21 is preferably provided with an aperture 22, one end of which is provided with a non-circular flaring portion 23 for a purpose to be hereinafter described.

Upon the stipporting member 6 I mount the movable jaw 24 of the vise so that it will slide freely providing it with a non-circular opening 25 to snugly receive the supporting member 6. I also provide the movable jaw 24 with an open pocket 26 provided with a U-shaped flange 27 Fig. 5, to cooperate with the groove 28 in the adjusting screw 29. This movable jaw is also provided with an aperture 30 for the reception of the drill press.

This drill press consists, in the preferred form, of a screw-threaded feed member 31 having male screw threads 32 which preferably engage with female screw threads 33 within the screw 29.

Within the hollow screw threaded member 31 I mount a drill rod 34 which extends completely through the screw 31, one end 35 of it being preferably formed square to cooperate with the squared opening in the handle 36, a pin 37 being also preferably employed to secure the handle to the drill rod.

The other end of the drill rod is provided with a square or other non-circular head 38 which fits in the non-circular opening 39 in the drill head 40, the arrangement being such that any rotary movement of the handle 36 will cause the drill head 40 to rotate and with it any tool which may be mounted in the drill head socket 41. It is to be distinctly understood that the drill head 40 is rotated independently of the feed screw 31, and yet when desired, the drill head 40 may be held from rotary movement and simply be moved laterally by the screw 31. In practice when rotary movement is imparted tothe drill rod 34 to rotate the drill point held in the drill head 40, the friction surface 201 of the drill head 40 will frictionally engage with the surface 200 of the screw threaded feed member 31 and will cause this feed member 31 to ro-.

by means of screws 44, 44, Fig. 10, this ring being, therefore, for all practical purposes, permanently secured to the work bench. It is preferably provided with a plurality of radiating ribs forming serrations to cooperate with similar serrations 46, on the body member 2. This body member is also provided with a base 47 having a recess 48 to receive the head 49 of the pivoting and locking bolt 50, which extends through the base 47, base ring 42, and through the work bench or other suitable support 43 into engagement with the locking nut 51, operated by any suitable handle 52. The anvil, as well as the entire tool, may be adjusted swivelly upon the base plate 42 into any position which may for the moment be desirable by loosening the locking nut 51 suiiiciently to allow the serrations upon the base ring or disk 42 and the hollow body member 2 to pass each other and then tightening the nut 51. This horizontal adjustment may be desirable simply for the anvil portion of the tool, or may be desirable for the vise, or the drill, or all portions of the tool. After being so used the locking nut 51 may be again loosened to permit the entire tool to be swung back to take less room, or when for any reason, it may not be desirable to have it remain in its last adjusted position upon the base ring 42. In case the work bench, or other support 43, is needed for other work, the entire tool, with the excep tion of the base ring 42, may be instantly removed by unscrewing the locking nut 51 and lifting bodily the entire tool from the work bench, with the exception of the base ring 42, which may be used as an abutment or stop for planing boards, or for any other purpose desired. The parts can be immediately repositioned by simply again placing the bolt through the opening in the work bench 43 and bringing the serrations in the base ring 42 in their proper adjusted position.

.1. In those cases, where 1t 1s desirable to operate the vise so that it will clamp work of different thicknesses, the first rough pre liminary adjustment of the movable jaw 24, for work of that particular thickness, is obtained by pulling up upon the weighted arm 19 so as to move the locking head 8 into alinement with the non-circular opening 5 in which position the supporting member 6 may be pushed in or pulled out from the hollow body member 2 to engage any particular pocket 7. The clamping of the particular work 53 is then done by screwing up the screw 29 so that the movable jaw 24 will directly contact with the work 53 or with an intermediate block of wood or other suitable filler 54.

Should it be. then desired to operate upon the work 53 with the drill, the feed screw 31 is screwed within the screw 29 unmesa;

til the drill point, or other suitable tool, contacts with the-work 53' when the drill may be rotated by the handle 36 operating the drill head 40, the drill being seated in the drillpocket 4L1, j .v

The drill is fed forward by suitably 'op-. erating the feed screw .31. providing the fixed jaw 21 with the aperture 22, I insure that the point of the drill 55 will not be dulled or broken by contact with the fixed jaw of the vise for when ithas passed through the work it will within the aperture 22. In those cases where it is desirable to use a very long drill point 55, the screw 31 may be rotated until the drill head 40 becomes adjacent to, or within,some of the female screw threads 33 of the screw 29. 'Such a long drill point can beinserted through the opening 22 in the fixed jaw 21 and the opening 30 in the movable jaw 245 until it reaches the seat 4:1 in the drill head 40. j

While ordinarily the feed for the drill point is entirely done by the feed screw 31, there are instances in which a preliminary feed may be given by first screwing up the screw 29 and then subsequently screwing the feed screw 31 so that both these screws 29 and'31 may serve as feedscrews for the drill point of the drill'press as well as one of them, 29, serving to operate the movable jaw 2=l of the vise. But in all instances, the work 53 is securely held in the visewithout any interference from the operation of the 56 of the screw 29 fitting within the open drill. a In case the drill is not often used, it may be temporarily removed by simply unscrewing the feed screw-31 from the screw 29, it being again replaced whenever desired, the combination tool meanwhile occupying less space. f

The movable aw 24 is moved'rearwardly upon the rectangular member 6 by the'endpocket 26 of the movable jaw 24 so as to permit the groove 28 to coiiperate with the pocket 26 on the movable jaw, which will cause the movable jaw to move rearwardly with the screw in an obvious manner. The

screws 29 and 31 are operatedby their respective handles 57 and 58. h p

The standard 17 may be formed integral with the supporting member 6 but preferably it is formed separate and snugly fits the supporting member being prevented from becoming disconnected by the flange 16' of the thimble 13 cotiperating with the flange 100 ofthe standardf17. Arranging the parts -infthisman'ner permits ready and cheap renewals in case of breakage from any cause. I

In some instancesI may form the operating screw to operate the movable jaw 59 of the vise with only male screw threads 60', Figl7, and provide the feed screw 61 for slip harmlessly 'each other by the tongues78.

and 'in' addition that :of a lathe, thread tap, V

scoring tool and other numerous uses, these being mentioned simply by way of example.

Iv have shown in Fig. 11 a latheplate 64: provided with'asquare boss 65 to be received in the square drill socket all of the drill head 40. When this lathe plate is mounted, for example, on the drill head 40, Fig. 13, and the work '66 is secured to the, lathe plate (Baby the clamps 67, the drill point68 may be placed in th'eflarednoncircularportions 23: ofthe opening 22, the workthen being presented'to the'stationary drill point 68. The tool then performs the function of a lathe. I may also tap holeswith my improved tool. In Fig. 12.I'have shown an interme 'diate socket 69 to be received within the fiaring o )ening l1 of the drill head 40, the

intermediate member being 1' provided with a non-circular opening 70 :for the reception of the shank 71 ofthe tap 7 2-. By the construction shown. when the tap 7 2 begins to cut its screw thread, continued rotation of the drill jholderfl0 andintermedi'ate socket 69, will cause thetap 72 to rotate and it will cut the threadsof the desired pitch regardless of the adjustment of the feed screw 32 for the tap has a free independent axial movement in the socket 7 0 which permits of its properly cutting its o'wnscrew thread by feeding itself regardless of the, adjustment of the feed screw 31.. r I

Insome cases I may provide the fixed and ,movable jaws with supplemental jaws 73, 74:, Fig. 14:. Each of these supplemental jaws is provided with a lug 7 5 to fit, respectively, within the openings in the fixed and movable jaws of the vise. Thesesupplemental aws may be provided with any suitable fixedonmovable part to do any particular or special work[ For example, I have shown the suppleinental jaw 73 pro vided with an opening 76, Fig. 16, and the supplemental jaw 74L with an openingof a different character 77, Fig. 15. I have shown by way of example pipe clamps mounted within the supplemental jaws, though it is to be understood, of course, that my invention is not to be limited to this particular attachment; The opening 76 in the supplemental .jaw 73 has inwardly ex tending tongues 7 8,7 8 which effect form two seats 79, 79 for the reception of thepipe clamps 80, 80 which willbe spaced from The other supplemental jaw 74; has. a narrower and shorter slot 77 for the reception of the pipe clamp 81 which is shorter than the pipe clamps 80, 80 and fits between the tongues 78, 78 so that pipes of various diameters may be clamped by the pipe clamp-s 80 and 81.

Instead of mounting pipe clamps within the supplemental jaws I can, of course, mount any other plate for any particular work to be performed such as for holding,

bending or shaping any desired article. 1 have shown by way of example a plate 82 in Fig. 17 having a semi-circular opening 83 which may be mounted in the openings in the supplemental jaws and used for bending awning rods or similar elements.

In addition to performing the function of a lathe, my tool also performs the function'of scoring or otherwise operating upon wood or metal to form, for example, key seats. I have shown diagrammatically in Fig. 18 a piece of work 84 in which a key seat85 is being cut by the tool 86 mounted within the drill head 40 by holding the handle 86 of the drill stationary, so; that the tool 86 will not rotate, and then operating the feed screw 31 so that it will perform the function of moving the tool 86 longitudinally to score the work 84: to form the key seat 85, or scoring the work 84 for any other desired purpose.

WVhile I have mentioned some of the many advantages of my improved tool andv some of the uses to which it may be put, I have not'attemped to mention all the uses, but on the contrary it is to be distinctly understood that my invention-is not to be confined simply to those uses herein described for it covers any and all uses to which the tool and separate parts my be put and is to be limited only by the terms of my claims.
